That'd be fine with me.

My point is that "make check" is supposed to be an integral part of
any serious build of a program, including Emacs. Whenever I build
Emacs for the first time on some machine, I always run the test suite.
I have a frequent use case whereby I need to work on systems that are
physically disconnected from the Internet (connected only to an
intra-enterprise network), and so having a package required for
testing that can only be downloaded from the Internet is a nuisance in
those cases. When/if we have an arrangement that some of the ELPA
packages get tarred into a release tarball, this issue will all but
disappear for me, but we are not there yet, we are only discussing
whether and how to do that.
Thanks.
